Pretty sure this photo is taken as the cars come out of turn 2 onto
the backstretch, but then again I'm not totally sure. What I am sure
of is this is a really great angle to view the action from and when Stan and
Glenn were on the track, there was usually plenty of action.

This photo was taken by Ace Lane! I can remember like
it was yesterday that I would get to the track around 1p.m. And wait for the
front school house gate to open at 3. As soon as I got into the track the
first thing I did was go over to picture stand and see what was new. Ploski
being my hero, I always seemed to spend my 5 bucks on a new 8x10 photo each
week.

If memory serves me correctly this had to be around 77 or 78. I'm also
pretty sure this was the first year that Stan drove the weld car as it had
the red outline all the way around the car. One thing I do remember for sure
is that Fitzcharles was scary fast in that Chevette. It seemed like
everyone in the stands was talking about how he would get seriously hurt if
he was ever in a "bad" one because the car was sooo damn small. This
Chevette was what Verona and McCabe thought would be the answer to
Chamberlain's Falcon but it just never seemed to be reliable for Glenn.

Location is correct - that is coming out of turn two at
Flemington - you can see the water filler for the trucks outside the fence
which was in the back of the maintenance building.
